Winter vetch should, be sown with some nurse crop for the support of the vines. The advantages of vetch may be , stated as ,follows: Winter vetch will grow on almost any kind of soil, from the heavy clays to the light sands. It will thrive and produce a profitable ',crop where other crops often .fail. It does not need the lime that alfalfa re- quires, nor the rich soils necessary to grow the clovers, It has even -been grown Successfully on acid soils. If 'soil is inoeulatetl' for vetch the growing crop will gather the free nitrogen from the air tend fie it in the soil so that it is available for other crops Out follow. Encouraging Milk Flow. Comfort and contentment are the touchstones of success. When a cow is comfortable irud contented she re- sponds with a tiow of milk' far in ex- cess of that she gives when she is un- comfortable and Irritated.

The vetches are slender, climbing. herbaceous plants bearing tendrils at the ends of the leaves, says Hiram E, Grolier in the Country Gentleman. To the legnminosae family also belong the bean, pea, clover and alfalfa. Nu- merous branches spring from the crowns of the vetches, many of them measuring seven feet. As the stems of the vetches are weak these branches trail along the ground or since they have tendrils they climb up other plants used as nurse crops. Some va- rieties of vetches have erect stems, but they have little commercial value. The flowers of tate vetch may be few and separate or many and in racemes, the color varying from pink or violet to white, depending upon the variety. The pods of the winter vetch are short, narrow and flat, while the pods of It has been repeatedly proved by. continuous experiments at government experiment stations and in private brooding houses by experienced breed. ers that the value of greet stuff and grit for growing chicks cannot be over- estimated. fu fact, these two common articles are absolutely necessary for growth and stamina. ' Successful handling of poultry dur- ing the winter months depends in quite a measure on reproducing so far as practicable summer conditions. It will mean a supply of animaland green food to take place of what they had on free range or in confinement during the summer season and a cape. clops dust bath which may contain some fine sifted wood ashes and some tine road dust, It is sheer folly to doctor a hen for any disease or ailment and allow her the freedom of the poultry ,yard. Ail• ing fowls should be treated in a great degree the same as human beings. When sick not only is medicine a ne- cessity. but rest Is also required. A sick fowl running with the flock is tt dangerous experiment or, more correct ly putting It, a very sure source for disseminating what may turn out to be a case of contagion. Pen up the sick bird and trent It as near like a human patient es possible, WINTEn VETCH. spring vetch are long and round. The pods of all 'varieties are two valved, bursting open when ripe and throwing the seeds to a great distance from the plants. For winter vetch Vicia viliosa is used. This is often called sand or hairy vetch because it grows well upon sandy areas where few other plants thrive, and it Is covered with fine, soft down similar to hair. Smooth vetch, Vicia sativa, is sometimes used, and it is commonly called spring tare. The winter or hairy vetch is by far the ,host 'valuable for the northern states, as it is much hardier than any of the others. It may even be sown in the fall with winter wheat or winter 1; -ye and not suffer much from winter killing. When winter vetch is wanted for seed it may be sown in the fall with the wheat or rye; if it wanted for fodder or hay it may be sown in the spring with any of the crops, like oats, oats and barley, oats and peas, and so on. The vetchseed is mixed with the grain at the rate of six to ten pounds of vetch to the acre, and sown wmamiwkwiaiiiklmiummi Make the.

L '33 More than 700 farmers' clubs have been organized in minae- t i� seta alone during the last year.

Tops Should Be Removed and Stable Manure Applied to the Ground. The first step in the winter care of asparagus, says Professor Montgomery of the Ohio College of Agriculture, is the removal and burning of the tops•at the close of the season. This serves a twofold purpose. First, It destroys many of the spores which are responsi- ble for the prevalence of asparagus rust, and, second, it eliminates to a large degree the hibernating places for the asparagus beetle during the winter season. He says that at the university gardens the cutting of the tops is de- layed until after heavy frost. A. sharp hoe or?scythe is used to cut the tops, which are gathered into large heaps and when' reasonably dry are burned. The tops are extremely difficult to work into the soil in the fail of the year, and GILLETT'S LYE EATS DIRT rwxx• arc cn,x „ o,ueeno xs N 1 or ILLE TORO Tonego cue cut, the slats oeingcommon SiS' Inch fence boards sawed about two I X • • • and one-half feet long.

The next step is to apply stable manure to the ground during the win- ter after the ground has frozen to some extent. Apply the manure at the rate of from twenty to thirty tons per acre, thesurface. and spread evenly over The manure should rematu ou the ground until spring, when the coarser portion may be removod to allow a thorough disking of the ground before the edible stalls approach the su t eco. , Such treatment largely increases the organic matter in the soil, adds some fertility, protects the plants from ex- cessive freezing and provided the match is retrieved in early spring, ad- vanees the (rowing season, 1l' the mulch is not removed early ill the spring it only erre, t retain frost in the ground ,and so delays growth.

This preparation has been on the market for the past twenty-five years, and those who have used it have nothing but words of praise for its efficacy. Mrs. H. N. Gill, Truro, N.S., writes: "Last January, 1913, I developed an awful cold, and it hung on to me for so long I was'afraid it would turn into consumption. I would go to bed nights, and could not get any sleep at all for the choking feeling in my throat and lungs, and sometimes I would cough till I would turn black in the face. A friend came to see me, and told me of your remedy, Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup. I got a bottle of it, and after I had taken it I could see a great change for the better, so I got another, and when I had taken the two bottles my cough was all gone, and I have never had an attack of it since, and that is now a year ago." Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup is put up in a yellow wrai Per; three pine trees the trade mark; and price, 25c and 50c. It is manufactu ed only by The T. Milburn Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont.

In this respect few breeds will excel them. Persistence Is used In the sense of malting high yields for successive years. Sono cows make a very high record for one or two years and then fall off rapidly in their yields. It is not thus with (Red Polls. In England Red Polled cattle produce both meat and milk. Ln America the dual purpose idea has been largely lost sight of in many herds. LIVE STOCK IUSBAN R til CROSSBRED SHEEP. ' being broader and deeper than in the fore quarters and a strong develop- ment in the lower half of the body. Therefore look for the development which appears light in front and deep and broad behind. This development assures the largest capacity for the consumption and utilization of feed and for the production of milk. In or- der to secure this type of body there must be a large development of the ud- der, being carried up high behind and well forward, with a rounding out and even development of all four quar- ters. The teats should be placed at the corners of a square ou the bottom of the udder. There should be a mel- lowness and elasticity of the skin that covers the udder, and when the udder is milked out it should not retain its shape, but appear almost as folds of skin. The milk veins should be large, long and very crooked. In the development of the body a straight, strong back with a broad loin and ribs that are long and well sprung are desired, because they form a great, roomy barrel. me pump should be long, broad and level and more or less angular. The principal impres- sion given by a well developed body Is that of great capacity. The animal should be fairly deep dowu through the shoulders and broad between the front legs and just back of them, giv- ing plenty of room for the heart and lungs. There should be a general mel- lowness and looseness to the skin and a lean condition of the animal, A U:it;mate Results of This Practice Rarely Prove Profitable, .•'T11e advice to crossbreed sheep con- tinues being spread broadcast by some heopmeu who should ltuow better.

Value of Feed and Care. The effect of feed and care on the dairy cow was well brought out at the New Salem (N. D.) dairy school. The four-year-old record of twelve cows was given. The butter fat production averaged 116 pounds in the first year, 196 the second, 214 the third and in 1913 239 pounds. The production was more than doubled in the four years. The cows were three to six years old when the records were started. The milk was weighed from each milking and tested each month. This very em- phatically brings out the fact that to secure good production the cow alone cannot do it -she must have the feed and the care.
